The Range Rover Classic, run-out model. In March 1994, Land Rover introduced the last major change to the Range Rover of that era. Built from 1994 to 1996 the interior was upgraded to receive a soft feel dashboard - based on the recently facelifted Discovery, and with switchgear from the Rover 800. These cars are commonly known as the Soft Dash to distinguish them from earlier models, and they are a collectable classic.
This website presents a historical archive of information about Soft Dash models.

We analysed the most common registration letters in our db and picked the top 6. A British plate of this era (1994-96) is formatted: AXXX AAA. The first letter is the year letter (only L / M / N apply to softdash models). Then a sequential number from 1 to 999, and finally a three letter shorthand for the regional office at which the car is registered. So we have been tracking down cars with those original plates. We have now traced all cars from original BWV (5), CUF (11), CVC (65), FPC (5), GPV (5), HOA (5), HVC (30), KAC (30), KWV (14), LDU (15), LNJ (8), LKV (26), LWK (8), LYP (12),RRC (15), RKV (17), VFL (7), VHP (26), VJL (6), YAC (15) registration plates which are still known to the DVLA, and are Soft Dash Range Rovers.
If you own, or used to own a soft dash classic Range Rover, we would love to have more details. You can see much of what we collect above, but additionally it would be useful to know: Number Plate / Chassis No. / Engine No. All public information shown on here is anonymous, we hide the reg. plate (while showing the year) and any photos have number plates removed. It is useful though to build up a complete picture in the background, so hopefully you can help. We also love photos!
We don't list sale prices against specific vehicles, but will show aggregated statistics. It is useful for us to know when a car sells and for how much, so that we can create those stats.
